On tap this morning we have large conditions in the double overhead plus range with some larger sets breaking off in the distance. The wind is calm, the sun is shining with relatively clean conditions. Overall, the inside is looking rather punishing, however if you like the big stuff, there are some clean, beautiful double overhead or so waves breaking away this morning. Enjoy the day

We have a beautiful morning with just a slight breeze blowing out of the east, sunny skies and cool temperatures. The surf is still looking rather mixed up with the local wind torn, haggard look. Although it’s looking far from good out there, there is the occasional shoulder moving through. Both the inside and outer bars are looking about the same with shifting peaks with smoother conditions to be found on the outside and rather jumbled conditions on the inside. Overall, the paddle looks like a bit of work, but definitely easier than it has been with right time, right place type of conditions in the head high to 1.5X’s overhead range.

It’s another beautiful morning with sunny blue skies, just a hint of a breeze out of the east blowing over not so beautiful surf in the slightly to 1.5X’s overhead range. The inside bar is looking rather relentless with shifting walls of water with more of the same on the outer bars. The ocean is looking rather rough and warbled with the waves going along with the flow maintaining a Spring time, wind torn look. Overall, the conditions are looking rather unappealing out there with crumbling, shifting peaks with waves seemingly folding on top of themselves in a slow rolling mush of water.

Ask Beth: I fell with my arm extended. How can I heal/strengthen my shoulder after injuring it?

We have a beautiful, sunny morning with a slight to moderate breeze out of the NE blowing over a relatively smooth ocean with waves in 1.5 to occasional double overhead or so set. The inside bar is doing its thing of producing endless punishment, while the outer bar is looking better, but definitely not worth the paddle. Overall, its a beautiful morning, weather wise, the surf unfortunately is looking rather raw and unappealing. However, there is some swell in the water, thus something has to be working somewhere.

It’s big out there with waves in the double overhead plus range slamming the outer bar as well as the distant shoals off in the horizon. The breeze is slight and out of the southeast and the ocean is smooth. The paddle is looking punishing and the rewards look difficult, near impossible to track down. Overall, the ocean is looking smooth with mostly large, walled up waves with an occasional shoulder moving through here and there. Thus if you like the very large and punishing stuff, than today is your day.

We have a gorgeous morning with sunny blue skies, just a touch of a breeze out of the east with waves in the slightly to the occasional double overhead set. Unfortunately, the waves are not looking so beautiful with a wind torn look of shifting, mixed up peaks doing the walled up, sectioned thing. The paddle looks like some serious work and the rewards look few and far between. Overall, there is some swell in the water and the weather is gorgeous, thus if you have the time, a little road trip is definitely the name of the game today.

Forget about it. We have a stiff wind out of the west blowing over a haggard ocean with waves in the slightly to occasional double overhead set sloshing about out there. Both the inner and outer bars are looking equally poor with shifting, stacked up, blah waves with nothing out there worth the punishing paddle to say the least. Overall, there is some swell in the water, thus something has to be working somewhere, just that somewhere is definitely not here.

We have an absolutely beautiful morning out here of sunny blue skies, just a hint of a breeze out of the northeast with waves in the slightly to 1.5X’s overhead range with some double overhead sets sneaking through from time to time. Unfortunately though, the ocean is not jumping on the bandwagon by producing haggard, warbled, wind torn waves shifting around out there. On top of which, the paddle is looking fairly punishing, depending on where you are with zero rewards out there for all your hard work. Overall, the elements are there for a nice day of surfing, but it’s just not jiving together for the time being.
